Special Occasions and Holidays

Our lives are broken into years, and our years divided by those special days the world has created to share with others. Christmas, birthdays, Independence Day, graduations, Halloween, anniversaries, Easter, Labor Day, Memorial Day - these are just a very few of those special days that are special because they are shared with those we love.

Writers are sometimes admonished to write about what they know best - and that can often result in beautiful poetry and prose about this thing we call poetry. Who else, after all, can better explore the depths of the poet's soul?
